My Methods

In a trusting and supportive atmosphere, I guide you in viewing both your past and potential new paths from different perspectives and developing fresh insights. My work is based on the scientific principles of Individual Psychology according to Alfred Adler, a pioneering figure in modern psychology. This approach understands the individual in their full context – with their goals, relationships, and inner strengths. Every person carries the freedom to make their own decisions and take responsibility for themselves and their community. Along this journey, I accompany you mindfully and solution-focused, so you can gain confidence in your own strength, recognize old patterns, and experience personal growth.

Method Examples

​

Exploring Lifestyle Patterns: Why do you keep finding yourself in similar conflicts? Why do certain situations feel so familiar yet draining? We explore your personal "life stance" – deeply rooted patterns from childhood and experience – that unconsciously guide your decisions. This helps you recognize, for example:

​

• Why you constantly overextend yourself

• Why you avoid conflicts

• Why you set impossibly high standards for yourself

 

This gives you the freedom to consciously choose new paths.

​

Examining Early Recollections: Your earliest childhood memories are like a compass showing the unconscious beliefs you carry through life. Beliefs such as:

​

• "I have to do everything alone"

• "I can't show weakness"

• "I'm only valuable when I perform"

 

These still influence your relationships and decisions today. By uncovering them, you understand why certain paths feel so difficult – and can replace these old convictions with new, empowering ones.

​

Fostering Social Interest: Many people who come to see me feel isolated – even when surrounded by others:

​

• They feel no one truly understands them

• They don't want to burden others

• They withdraw even though they long for connection

 

We work on strengthening your connection to others and recognizing that you don't have to carry everything alone. This not only reduces loneliness but also helps you make decisions that feel right both for you and for your relationships.

​

Encouragement and Goal Orientation: What do you truly want – not what others expect of you? Often we live by rules that aren't even ours:

​

• The career for our parents

• The perfect family for appearances

• Selflessness for others

 

We identify your genuine inner goals and values. Through practical exercises, you develop the confidence to act on them – whether that means saying no, pursuing a career change, or finally standing up for your needs.​
